Really? Let's look: * Xenoblade, Last Story, Pandoras Tower only got released after massive fan begging, despite being localized by NoE long time ago * no New 3DS (only XL) in US * very limited Amiibo-shippings I don't want Reggie worldwide, as then he will impact my Nintendo-experience as a european too. |
And look how those games sold after the demand rose that much. Demand = More sales over lifetime.
XL was a very logical move for Nintendo. The fact is the XL outsells the regular 3ds by a lot in N.A. and people who are going to upgrade (myself included) are probably willing the spend the extra bit of money to get the bigger screen. I had no interest in upgrading from the regular 3ds to the 3ds xl, but I DID upgrade from the 3ds to the New 3ds XL. There would have been a lot of lost profit if they had to market, develop, ship, and maintain two devices as opposed to just the one. And it makes it way less confusing for consumers than it could have been. We already have 3ds, 3ds xl, 2ds, and the New 3ds XL, do we really need the 5th? Again, the main amount of people upgrading probably would get the xl if they had a choice by a wide margin.
Again, limited supply = more demand = more sales. Remember when no one and their grandmothers could finds Wiis anywhere in 2006? That created a MASSIVE amount of demand. Nintendo knows what they are doing. They are the master of profit in the gaming industry.
